  • Refreshing

    Im a mom of three (soon to be four) and have been living abroad the last ten years. We aren’t “missionaries” in the traditional sense. I’ve just started listening to this podcast and really enjoy listening while cooking and doing the daily grind. I love the intentional conversations and variety! Haven’t found anything else like it to date. Very needed. Thank you for your persistence in creating great content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Missionaries, Fundraising Isn't Your Only Option with Elias Reyes
Q: So what does a secondary stream of income even look like for missionaries?
It varies by person, but common avenues include teaching English, tutoring, investing in local opportunities, and coaching, depending on skills and available time.
Here's What Your Body Has Been Trying to Tell You, Missionaries with Steve & Lisa Cuss
Q: What are the big five false needs and how do they show up in ministry?
They are core needs expressed as control, approval, knowing all the answers, perfection, and being there for others—each good in moderation, but dangerous when exaggerated, leading to dysregulation and burnout; recognizing them helps leaders pause and recalibrate.
When Nobody Calls to Check On You: Soul Health, Hidden Burnout, and What Missionaries Actually Need
Q: So Mindy, could you highlight a few of the key findings from your research on missionaries' soul health and what stood out most?
The main pattern shows a move from striving to true abiding, with burnout linked to imbalanced flywheels, and the strongest deficit being relational health rather than finances or job tasks. Spiritual friendships and practical SoulCare practices emerged as crucial levers for restoring health and sustaining mission work.
Being a Woman on the Mission Field: What We All Need to Know with Denise Beck (EE)
Q: What unique strengths do women bring to the mission field?
Women bring strong community-building, capacity to gather others, resilience forged through grief, and a perspective that helps teams endure hard seasons and see ministry from new angles.
What Missionary Kids Need Their Parents to Hear with Macy Gutierrez, Gabriel Gomez & Michelle Escobar
Q: Did you feel more like a missionary kid or a missionary yourself while growing up?
Gabriel/Michelle/Macy discuss the shift from being seen as the child of missionaries to owning their own callings and recognizing their own roles within the mission.
